## What is Lessr?

That video too big to send on WhatsApp? Photos eating up your storage? Need to merge PDFs before a deadline?

You shouldn't have to upload your personal files to some random website just to shrink them. With Lessr, everything happens right on your iPhone or iPad — no internet needed, no accounts, no ads. Your files never leave your device.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick your files — photos, videos, or PDFs
2. Choose what you need — compress, convert, merge, or more
3. Done — save or share your results instantly

That's it. No waiting for uploads. No wondering who else can see your files.

COMPRESS WITHOUT LOSING QUALITY

Shrink videos from hundreds of megabytes to just a few — perfect for WhatsApp, email, or freeing up storage. Compress photos and PDFs too, with full control over quality. Choose from presets like WhatsApp (16 MB), Email (25 MB), or set your own target size.

CONVERT ANY FORMAT

HEIC photos others can't open? MOV videos that won't play on every device? Convert between JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, MP4, MOV, M4A, and WAV — all in seconds.

PDF TOOLS YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE

Merge multiple PDFs into one. Split pages out. Compress oversized PDFs. Create PDFs from photos. No more hunting for a website to do a simple PDF task.

MORE THAN JUST A COMPRESSOR

• Remove backgrounds from photos — clean cutouts in one tap
• Resize images for Instagram, Facebook, passport photos, or any custom size
• Trim videos to the exact clip you need
• Turn videos or Live Photos into GIFs
• Make custom iPhone ringtones from any video or audio
• Extract audio from videos
• Mute videos — remove sound without re-encoding
• Strip metadata for privacy before sharing

BATCH PROCESSING

Select multiple files at once. Compress 20 photos in one go instead of one by one. Your time matters.

BUILT FOR YOUR PRIVACY

• No internet connection required — ever
• No cloud uploads — files stay on your device
• No account or sign-up needed
• No ads
• No personal data collected — only anonymous usage statistics
